B2B data you can rely on.

Quality data, personalised for you.


Go-to-Market teams don’t struggle with a lack of data. They struggle with the quality, context, and prioritisation of the data available to them. That’s why at Cognism we are only focused on the data that matters to you - verified data for the decision makers and companies you need:

  • Phone-verified mobiles that increase the connect rate by 3x on average
  • Up-to-date company and contact data that is continuously monitored across 100’s of data sources
  • Insights into intent, company funding updates, hiring changes and technology usage
  • Compliance-first data, checked against 13 Do-Not-Call lists globally

How Cognism sources data to find you a Diamond

Orion stitches between 60-200 pieces of data together per company before filtering it through a series of verification layers.
